They have both been amazing and as far as I can tell have only been beaten cleanly on two shots each. Keith and Seabrook both burned Elliot plain and simple. Anisimov got a tip in to a wide open net and Shaw got one with sheer grit in front of the net. Parayko smashed it by Crawford on a PP and Tarasenko blew one by him in game 2. The other 3 goals Crawford gave up were all redirects. Sucks for Chicago but that is hockey.

That's a tough one to lose. Oh well. Been here before.

Yeah, I think Hawks bounce back in game 4 to even the series and then the last 3 games are going to be battles. I expect Shaw or Ladd to give some shots to Ott after he ripped Toews helmet off yesterday.

I don't like this idea, and am almost 100% sure the league would never go for it, but wanted to bring it up for discussion. The argument that one of the Pens or Rangers will be gone in round 1, that's always gonna be a problem in today's NHL. If the argument that a top team might get knocked out. Just start in the conference finals then. In 98 and 99 the top 3 teams in the East were out in round one. In 2003, the Western Finals was the 6th and 7th seed. If you want the top teams to always advance, go watch the NBA. The NHL wants rivalries and 1-16 wouldn't get that. I mean hell, you can see the hate building up between the Wings and Lightning because of the last 2 playoff years.
As for Zatkoff’s comment about what's the difference between 2 hours and 5 hours on a plane...ask the Wings and Jackets if there is a difference. Ask the Stars how much they like it or liked it back when they were in the Pacific.

Not just the Penguins and Rangers IMO, both St. Louis and Chicago are capable of winning a cup but are facing each other in the first round unfortunately.
